5K Blog & News

Just can’t get enough of racing and nature preservation? Never fear, our blog will keep you updated about race information, nature preservation, and ways to prepare for a 5K!

Starting at the entrance of the boardwalk at beautiful Lake Mohawk in Sparta, NJ, this 5K race is an out-and-back course with a mixture of flat road and small, rolling hills. Enjoy the view of beautiful lakefront homes along East Shore Drive, and end the race right in front of Krogh's, our local watering hole. Ample parking is available, but you'll still want to join us early to talk to our sponsors, enjoy the lake view, and connect with your fellow runners!
